The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 188

Chloe just hesitated for a moment, then she smiled and looked at Old Master. "Grandpa Xavier, I do. But I still have to respect Derek's wishes and ideas."

When Chloe was young, she would directly walk away when confronted with invisible forces like this. However, Derek tolerated her unconditionally at that time, so she could find some steel and be wilful.

But now... She couldn't be wilful anymore. She would rather make some sacrifices. As long as Derek was by her side, she could accept anything.

Derek obviously didn't expect Chloe to say that. When Old Master heard this, his face creased up with laughter. "Well, you're a grown up. You're not that self-willed now. We will do as you say."

"Wait a minute, grandpa. This is... I don't agree."

Derek was anxious. How could this matter be so inexplicably decided? He didn't like Chloe at all. His feelings for her were no longer like the feelings between lovers. How could he be engaged to her?

When Chloe heard Derek say that, the smile on her face froze. When Violet found out, she quickly held her hand. "Derek, Chloe is a woman, and she has agreed to be your wife. Besides, you've been in love for so long. What are you hesitating about now?"

Old Master also looked at Derek angrily. He had already got all fixed up for him. Did Derek have to piss him off?

"Engagement is something really important. We can't be so hasty. For Chloe, I've already..."

Because Chloe herself and some elders in the family were here, Derek was teetering on the edge of revealing more information. He didn't make himself look too indifferent. However, everyone could get his implied meaning.

Chloe's face blushed immediately. She let go of everything: her dignity, her dreams, and even her reservedness. Before they are exclusive, she expressed herself as willing to stay at the man's place. Sadly, what she got was such a humiliating result.

She felt extremely embarrassed. This time, even though Violet had tried so hard to appease and persuade her to stay, she was unable to sit there any longer. "I'm sorry, auntie, grandpa Xavier. I'd better leave first. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble."

"Chloe, Chloe!"

Violet was extremely embarrassed when she saw that Chloe had made up her mind to leave. She glared at Derek, giving him a sharp look. Her son was always smart. Why did he make such a fool of himself over and over again on this matter?

When Mr. Xavier saw that Chloe couldn't stand the humiliation and left, he was so angry that he knocked on the floor with his walking stick. "Derek, you're really killing me. Hurry! Get her back!"

Derek refused decisively. "Grandpa, now that she's left, I'll get straight to the point. We are not lovers anymore, and I don't feel that way about her now. For her sake and for everyone's sake, please stop bumbling about it."

"Okay... Okay... What I did was wrong. You're always right. There is nothing I can do now. Get out of here, get out! Come back only when you agree to marry Chloe!"

Old Master's blood-boiling rage made him point at the door and yell at Derek.

Derek frowned. In fact, he resembled the Old Master in character. Both of them were very opinionated. Now, waging a tit-for-tat struggle would only make things worse.

"Grandpa, I'll leave and spend the night at the company. I don't think I did anything wrong with this. You should rest at home. Please don't do anything harmful to your health. I'm leaving now."

When Derek's heart was quieter, he took his coat and went out.

However, his words not only failed in calming Mr. Xavier down but also made him even angrier. He directly hit the walking stick on Derek's back. "I really can't do anything about this family. I'm afraid that I'm not the decision-maker in this family now!"

Derek's footsteps paused. Old Master had been grooming him since he was a child. How could he not recognize the disappointment and sadness in Old Master's words?

However, he couldn't allow this mistake to develop. He had to rip the band-aid.

"Housekeeper, take good care of grandpa. Call me if you need me."
